Sara McTigue holds a BA in Lithographic Printmaking and Ceramics from Stonybrook University and an MBA from UF. In Synthetic Landscapes, single use polymer packaging is transformed into abstracted terrain by emphasizing the three-dimensional shapes with color. The compositions highlight and distance themselves from the ordinary blow-mold plastic packaging found on most household items. The immense energy used to heat and compress granular polymer into machined shapes to protect products is immediately discarded by the consumer. I am fascinated by process, industry, the permanent and impermanent and strived to investigate my own relationship with convenience and consumption in this work.

THE SL8 GALLERY

The SL8 Gallery welcomes you to a show of a body of work, “Water and AEther,” by Florida native Patrick Giles.  An “artist of the interior”, Patrick captures the flows of energy between and within living beings.  This retrospective show spans a decade of Patrick’s work, from the early 2000’s. From Patrick’s earliest memories, he recalls a sense of another world, less material, but no less real, than that of the purely physical realm.  
The tension between the bull and his mate, the innocence of the dancers, the life force in the flower, the energy that flows between the stallion and the mare, blending spirit in the flesh.

The Bull

On display at The Bull is work by Milan Hooper — "Painting is a process, I don't know what the final image is going to be when I start. I respond to what's happening with the paint... build it up here, leave it alone there, maybe scrape some away. It all just kind of evolves. Often I discover what I am painting in the act of painting. I like to think I make art as a contribution to humankind's collective creativity. When I am creating, I feel like I am doing something positive and offsetting some of the negative effects of living in this material world. A lot of the work I do uses repurposed materials like found wood, as well as recycled housepaints that I find at the local hazardous waste collection site.
I want to be part of of the creative process as opposed to being part of the destructive process."

Textures and Fear in e Digital World is a 10-piece solo exhibition of works that explore fear through the digital recontextualization of texture. This exhibition aims to push audiences to consider how the fluidity of perception and even commonly perceived textures can evoke strong emotions like fear when presented in a new light. Fear is an emotion that is experienced differently by every individual who is confronted by it. Digital Texture, a medium that I have found to be particularly experimental, provides an eccentric lens through which to showcase my fears. In short, this exhibition displays my experiences with fear through a new, digital, perspective.

"Using practices such as meditation, automatic drawing and other forms of spiritual exploration, I stumbled upon my own unique process of interfacing with my subconscious through patterns, shapes and colors.
